Wire Rack - Steam Cooking

Wire Rack:

There are in essence 3 cooking surfaces in Turbo Cookware™. Each of these surfaces cooks within or benefits from being connected to the dome cover and therefore fully benefits from the Steamcooking ™ process. The 3 surfaces are the base, wire rack and mesh racks.

The wire rack is constructed of steel welded together, crisscrossing forming a checkerboard surface.
The entire surface is then connected to a series of wire
rungs that are attached to the base of the rack, creating a “wall”.

The wire rack can easily be removed by inserting a fork between 2 of the wire rods in the surface. The wire rack locks on top of the mesh rack. Various foods can be cooked on the wire rack while something is cooking in the base; broccoli, asparagus, ears of corn and other such medium and large vegetables, par cooked foods that have been started in the base, foods that start on the rack but are then completed in the base.

As well food items such as breads, quick cooking vegetables etc can be prepared in the final stages of cooking and because both racks lock together you can cook on both racks at same time.

Because there is no “fan” creating the steam flow, it is limited to basically rotating within the cover and just below the area where the racks are positioned. What can only be described a thermal barrier is created between the upper and lower cooking areas. Since steam does not transmit flavours, food that cooks on the racks doesn’t mix flavors with what is cooking in the base. When the valve is open, steam travels thru the cover and flavors from the food cooking in the base can intermingle with what is cooking on the racks.
